A blog about our road trips on Route 66, Lincoln Highway, St. Louis, New York, Michigan, etc. (we have been to 37 States, 13 more to visit), about my love of hockey (NHL), football (NFL), coming to America, growing up in Viet Nam, humor that ain't funny and still a lot of ramblings!

THE GREAT ONE

This post is not about Wayne Gretzky (even though he is known as The Great One). This is about all the great Fathers who love and care for their families. They accept the responsibilities of providing for their children and most of all, living a moral, honest and earning a living thru hard work (no entitlement, no accepting award without actually deserving it or blaming someone else for their mistakes).This license plate is for you, all the great Dad - Happy Father's Day.

A blog about a typical woman who is a hockey/football fanatic, loves the Detroit Red Wings and the New England Patriots, sharing stories about life in St. Louis, Missouri, about Route 66 and about New York - my American hometown, memories of growing up in Viet Nam, the journey from Viet Nam as boat people, living in the refugee camp, the early years in America and almost 30 years later, achieving the American Dream. Everyone has a story, and because we all do, when we hear each other's stories, we feel suddenly connected. Story is the great river that run through the human landscapes, and our individual stories are the little creeks that flow through us all to join the river at its source. It's really only when we tell our stories, we share the feelings that have shaped our lives. (101 Ways to have True Love in Your Life - Daphne Rose Kingma - Conari Press)
